 Picture taken in one of the many good spots to photograph the great Downtown Miami. This was very late at night when no traffic noise was disturbing the quietness and greatness of the scene. No wind, (actually was surprisingly really cold) so the sea was completely flat, no waves, just perfect.

A very nice colorful cityscape by night with lovely reflections in the water. It does convey a certain feeling of stillness and silence too. 7

This is something very special and must score high.

this looked very loud to me. the colors were bright, and there's too much going on for it to be quiet, so I rated it lower. A city that's has so much going on can't be silent.

However, I was talking to my mom on the phone, and she was viewing the pictures, and she loved it--it was one of her favorites.

there are a few of these. I just don't see silence in a cityscape.

LOL, this doesn`t feel silent at all - its obviously a busy city and I can almost feel the hub-bub emanating from it.

This is a lovely shot; however, I feel like it would've done much better in the sound category IMO. Just with all the bright colors and lights it seems so loud and noisy you know? And when I think of cities, such as this one, I think of noise. But the photo itself is excellent, good job.
